This deserves a 10/10. The gameplay was so simple yet so creative and never boring. The writing was witty and humorous. The story itself was simple yet effective in terms of storytelling... There was no flaw in this game. It was unorthodox yet managed to pull out a well told story through a puzzle game unlike no other, lol.
Unrealistic puzzles, lackluster computer generated voice acting, short campaign, poor graphics. The game is a 7/10 in my book. I really don't see the appeal in the simplistic design.
+Chrisjb1983 Except the genre is science fiction, the antagonist is a robot and quantum space holes... since when are those realistic? Also, poor graphics? Were you playing this on a console? . PS. "simplistic design" ???????
poor graphics... for it's year it was really good. And it's still awesome. I don't understand. Undertale is popular but has poor graphics (Pixels..) So wut?
This game is automatically a classic. I don't understand why games like COD get all the hype and an awesome game like Portal 2 doesn't get as much hype. I only became a Portal fan last year because I didn't even know about it until then, but I wish I had known about it when it first came out.
I feel the same way. I wanted it back in 2012 but I didn't have a console, then I forgot about it until a few months ago, and I am so GLaD(OS) that I remembered it! I completed it in only about 2 weeks!

This game is one of the better games I've played. From it's cutecee, quarky dialogue and it's interesting narrative, more challenging puzzles, making it, one of my favorite video games of all time. This triumphs over the original. I'll give it a 10/10.
As much as I love Portal 2, I must say I miss the creepy atmosphere from the first Portal. I remember chills running down my spine the first time I found one of the back rooms in Portal with writings on the wall. Also that moment in the last test chamber where the platform guides you into the fire is something I'll never forget. Despite that, I do realize it's impossible to recreate that, since everybody was new to that game at the time and Portal 2 is still a great game.
no HALF-LIFE 3 is freaking badass gordon will turn into a dinosaur and eli will become a goat in wwe fighting and kliener is going to be a giant fat dude
Maybe it was the graphics. He did say they wouldn’t blow us away. The campaign length is perfectly fine. There’s only so much you can do with the Portal concept in a single game before it starts to feel tedious. Or maybe it’s just to spite Valve for not making Half-Life 3 yet, lol.
It was because to get a 10 you need to have a ground breaking game. Portal 2 was fantastic, but still not ground breaking. Ground breaking is something like... SKYRIM for example, it has great graphics, huge length campagin, great story combat and everything, it's just HUUUGEE. Even tho i think Portal 2 deserves a 10/
A 9.5 is still a really good score, perhaps there are some problems with the game that make it not perfect, these people are viewing this game from an objective, critical level, the point is, this is their opinion not yours, you give this game a ten, you give this game a ten, but you don't speak for absolutely everyone.
This is literally the funniest game I have ever played. Whenever I finish a test, I keep looking forward to a line played by the amazing voice talents of Steven and Ellen and the rest of them...SPACE!
Average IGN review #1: THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS AND IS DISGRACE TO MY CULTURE Average IGN review #2: 9/10 Its okay Nintendo IGN review: 10/10 GAME OF THE YEAR EDITOR S CHOICE
Matt Barrett No Cod hasn't got a 10 out of 10 since MW I Think. They do give them away to 3rd person survival shooters, Like last of us and uncharted. Don't get me wrong great games that do deserves 9.0, but I Think portal should have 10, also skyrim could have one.
Unrealistic puzzles, lackluster computer generated voice acting, short campaign, poor graphics. The game is a 7/10 in my book. I really don't see the appeal in the simplistic design, far from a masterpiece.
the ending to portal 2 was fantastic....the final battle was also really well done, I am not going to spoil anything so if you guys haven't played portal 2 yet....go and play it... on another note if you are anything like me, you WILL get frustrated with one if not a couple of puzzles, but if you press on it is very satisfying....the story will keep you going that is for damn sure..
I truly believe Portal 2 is part of the top 5 best games ever made. Hands down. I can play it through over and over and never get tired of it. Incredible.
Sadly, I played this game expecting a great story like TellTale's The Walking Dead, which was a mistake. I should have been playing Portal 2 like a puzzle game, which it is.
Original, fresh, and fun gameplay, great voice acting, challenging puzzles, compelling characters and story, memorable style, and amazing music. Plus, the co-op mode makes for a great time with a friend. Truly a masterpiece, one of my favorite games ever.
I just don't understand you ign. You can say something like "half life 2 is far and away the best game we've ever played" and give it a 9 point something, but then give OTHER games 10. Like, where is that logic?
Derek Furst I know that gamespot has a "team effort" process where one person reviews a game, but the rest of the team play devils advocate, and try to sway him of his points, but in the end, the assigned reviewer has complete and total authority over the score. Id think IGN would work likewise, I dont think they just add up the scores of everybody on the team and divide by 45
where are the turtles no but you don't have people giving 3.5 to a game like half life. According to ign, it's like 8 or so people who do a pseudo average for the score
How is this not considered a 'Masterpiece' by your rating definitions? You literally didn't bring up a single con and praised nearly every aspect of the game?
just to remind you, this is a puzzle game please mane any other puzzle game that u think could show us that this game has nothing good and ''overated''?
I'm not denying Portal 2 has ingenious humor; it does. My gosh it does. I could quote Cave for hours. But my heart sinks when I hear people say, "It's the funniest game I've ever played." And I think, "Haven't they ever played Deathspank?" The humor in Deathspank is penned by the legend himself, Ron Gilbert. Where Portal 2 made me laugh, Deathspank made me howl. Especially in his third outing, The Baconing. Don't let the cartoon graphics fool you; the humor in Deathspank is some of the best.
why do the test chambers look really old and have vegatation growing around them in the first part of the story, then they start to look like portal 1s did further on? is glados fixing the the test chambers or somthing?
later expresses her displeasure at the fact that they can not die, keeping they crazy GLaDOS feel. GLaDOS let go of Chell, thinking that she was letting go of her troubles, hence the line "You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone" in the end song. And when Chell is released, she is in the middle of nowhere, that's not happy. GLaDOS throws the companion cube out to her as if to say, "You're on your own, kid." I hope that cleared a few things up for you :)
9/10, should've had a multiplayer mode where 10 or so people are different robots which can be customised along with your portal gun where you're in a large chamber with people and you use tactics to kill enemies, making them restart and race to the end. everything else in the game is amazing
+Squeaky bubbles Yes, it is different. But the clever thing about this game is that it never feels like you're thinking differently! It's still the same place; in fact you even see a few familiar old rooms you did in Portal! You instantly carry on your love of Glados & she charms you more & more! It almost becomes sexual! Ha Ha! The best part is when you fall all the way to the bottom, deep underground amoungst a derelict testing facility & have to work your way back up through the 1940's test equivalent of the facility to the top, & it's HUGE! I'd try it if you miss Portal. I've just started. ;)
I I that this game game was great up until the ending. When you shot a portal on THE MOON and you leave to an army of singing turrets, it made it one of my favorite games ever. Seeing Chel finally get free was amazing. Also companion cube.
This game is truly stunning. It is definitely my favorite game of all time. I can not stress enough how great this game is. At the end it will leave you not only completely satisfied but also very curious. If you haven't already bought this game, you need to asap.
For people who are confused, The reason it got a 9.5 instead of a 10 is probably because "the tension sags in the second act" as said in the video. Though I do personally think it should have gotten a 10, I still can see why it got a 9.5 in this video.
Portal 2 completely deserved its 9.5 /10 and its 2011 GOTY Awards. Amazing story, fantastic puzzles, superb visual aesthetic, mind bending portal physics, plot twists and co-op modes.... I really hope Portal 2 comes to PS4 with a visual upgrade alongside the long awaited Portal 3.
Its a MASTERPIECE of gaming! If u have never played this game or its prequel... damn... dont wait, go get it and play this game! Amazingly hilarious, amazing voice-acting, gameplay.... u name it, and it excels! I dont think any game wud surpass this irrespective of genre. 11/10 And i wud never want a Portal 3... There cant b another Statue of Liberty, nor Eiffel Tower nor Taj Mahal... Similarly, no Portal 3
This game is amazing :) This may be quite the read here so get some popcorn. Gameplay = 8 Wheatleys/10 (Reason why I deducted a couple of points is because of a couple of glitches where I couldn't get to the point and I had to restart the game, as there will be no more patches and the glitch/bug is still there, I deducted a couple of points.) Otherwise than that the gameplay made references to the last game (wich I love!) and actually made sense when you were told to do something. They did not just leave you hanging at a little thread! They led the crumbs where you discover the experince of gaming yourself. Dialougue = 9 Cakes/10 (I deducted one point because one flaw with the subtitles, a couple grammar mistakes like punctuation and since there will be no more patches I deducted one point, other than that the dialougue was great! As I said before, references to the game before. The dialougue is also great because this game spawns new theorys, like "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!? I NEED TO KNOW!?" I love those types of games :) Good job. Strategizing = 10 Portals/10 (This game is perfect for the casual experince and the hardcore full achievment experince! This game can allow you to do what you want, you can solve the problem in any chamber how you want. You can either play the game at a slow and steady pace or you can grab all the achievments you can find!) (Bonus: I love how some chambers in the game are related to the original Portal!) Achievments = 8.5 Turrets/10 (Reason why I deducted 1.5 of a point is because some of the achievments can be overwhelming to the player which can somewhat be depressing), (otherwise the achievments are great!) The achievments are almost worth getting from the start, Catchy names; Check, References to last game; Check, Feeling acomplished when you achieve them; check! Satisfiamental = 11 Cores/10 (I really think this is one of the games where I have satisfiement where I get to say I completed that game. This game has a goal at first then has a plot twist, bam and you still are satisfied with what you get in the end because you know you wanted it for so long to happen. You know you are happy when you defeat that evil villian and you know YOU did it. That's the kind of joy that energizes me.)
How was not Half-Life a success?It revolutionized the fps genre as we know it and sold almost 10 million copies. It spawned innumerable mods and games including Counter-Strike and gave rise to the biggest modding community ever. Team Fortress was definitely a popular mod back in the day. Portal was a huge success: it sold over 4 million copies, was named game of the year and even game of the decade by several publications and it's immensely popular on the internet.
EAn has Origin, which has 11 MILLION USERS and is probably the greatest gaming outlet ever. Plus they have Battlefield 3, the most realistic simulator of war. AND they have Medal of Honor, which will also be powered by Frostbite 2.0. Valve has hats and an old game engine with no destruction or HDR dynamic lighting. Woopee.

GLaDOS let go of Chell, thinking that she was letting go of her troubles, hence the line "You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone" in the end song. And when Chell is released, she is in the middle of nowhere, that's not happy. GLaDOS throws the companion cube out to her as if to say, "You're on your own, kid." I hope that cleared a few things up for you :)
9/10, should've had a multiplayer mode where 10 or so people are different robots which can be customised along with your portal gun where you're in a large chamber with people and you use tactics to kill enemies, making them restart and race to the end. everything else in the game is amazing
Hmmm ..... game looks interesting .... gonna buy it for the 360 soon but should i play portal 1 first ?
Definitely play the first Portal before Portal 2.
There is no reason not to, both are amazing, and you appreciate the second more if you play portal 1.
u can get this game on steam, for £3.74. If ur in the uk, so if ur in USA it will be like $5
You should just to get used to the mad hilarious humor of it and to get the hang of how it works + the 1st is great anyway
Im halfway through finishing portal 1 .... the music is whats keeping me playing ...
11 PM- I guess I can do one more test chamber before I go to sleep. 3 AM- I MUST KEEP GOING.
is it worth getting, because I have the original portal, and I love it but 2 looks so different
+Squeaky bubbles Yes, it is different. But the clever thing about this game is that it never feels like you're thinking differently! It's still the same place; in fact you even see a few familiar old rooms you did in Portal! You instantly carry on your love of Glados & she charms you more & more! It almost becomes sexual! Ha Ha! The best part is when you fall all the way to the bottom, deep underground amoungst a derelict testing facility & have to work your way back up through the 1940's test equivalent of the facility to the top, & it's HUGE!
I'd try it if you miss Portal. I've just started. ;)
How much is the download space for the full game on ps3? My laser thing is broken and cant play any disks
Around 5 GB.
Just got the game on steam and I'm surprised how well it runs on low end laptops
What is the song in the begging and background?
I I that this game game was great up until the ending. When you shot a portal on THE MOON and you leave to an army of singing turrets, it made it one of my favorite games ever. Seeing Chel finally get free was amazing. Also companion cube.
Can you get this from xbox live??
what is the name of the portal 2 theme that plays at the beggining?
Portal: giving new meaning to the phrase 'Let's shoot some hoops'
This game is truly stunning. It is definitely my favorite game of all time. I can not stress enough how great this game is. At the end it will leave you not only completely satisfied but also very curious. If you haven't already bought this game, you need to asap.
what is the theme that plays at the beggining of the review?
What's the song that plays at the start of the gameplay section?
Let’s casually ignore the fact that portal is ranked to lower than overwatch
Why the hell is there 30 second ads that can't be skipped
Don’t ya hate it when you try to type 10, but it types 9.5?
2:20
What is that song?
I've been looking for the name of it for a long time.
Raging Light it has been seven years, traveler. It is called science is fun. I hope this information is still useful for you
Should've been a 10, one of the greatest games ever made.
Fort nite 9.6
They think a broken piece of carp higher than one of the best sequels of all time
For people who are confused, The reason it got a 9.5 instead of a 10 is probably because "the tension sags in the second act" as said in the video.
Though I do personally think it should have gotten a 10, I still can see why it got a 9.5 in this video.
Portal 2 completely deserved its 9.5 /10 and its 2011 GOTY Awards. Amazing story, fantastic puzzles, superb visual aesthetic, mind bending portal physics, plot twists and co-op modes.... I really hope Portal 2 comes to PS4 with a visual upgrade alongside the long awaited Portal 3.
Eternal Light Goaty awards!
It should have gotten a 10/10 though
Should I get portal 1 or Portal 2 for Steam on mac?
I just bought the Portal bundle on steam rn for 1.50$ and should i start from portal 1 so i can understand the story of portal 2??
Storm Mann yes. Start with portal 1 and then portal 2.
Cohen Lorenz i will and thanks
Its a MASTERPIECE of gaming!
If u have never played this game or its prequel... damn... dont wait, go get it and play this game!
Amazingly hilarious, amazing voice-acting, gameplay.... u name it, and it excels!
I dont think any game wud surpass this irrespective of genre. 11/10
And i wud never want a Portal 3... There cant b another Statue of Liberty, nor Eiffel Tower nor Taj Mahal... Similarly, no Portal 3
what's the song at the beginning?
can someone get me a link to the song at the start? can't find it
This game is amazing :) This may be quite the read here so get some popcorn.
Gameplay = 8 Wheatleys/10 (Reason why I deducted a couple of points is because of a couple of glitches where I couldn't get to the point and I had to restart the game, as there will be no more patches and the glitch/bug is still there, I deducted a couple of points.) Otherwise than that the gameplay made references to the last game (wich I love!) and actually made sense when you were told to do something. They did not just leave you hanging at a little thread! They led the crumbs where you discover the experince of gaming yourself.
Dialougue = 9 Cakes/10 (I deducted one point because one flaw with the subtitles, a couple grammar mistakes like punctuation and since there will be no more patches I deducted one point, other than that the dialougue was great! As I said before, references to the game before. The dialougue is also great because this game spawns new theorys, like "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!? I NEED TO KNOW!?" I love those types of games :) Good job.
Strategizing = 10 Portals/10 (This game is perfect for the casual experince and the hardcore full achievment experince! This game can allow you to do what you want, you can solve the problem in any chamber how you want. You can either play the game at a slow and steady pace or you can grab all the achievments you can find!) (Bonus: I love how some chambers in the game are related to the original Portal!)
Achievments = 8.5 Turrets/10 (Reason why I deducted 1.5 of a point is because some of the achievments can be overwhelming to the player which can somewhat be depressing), (otherwise the achievments are great!) The achievments are almost worth getting from the start, Catchy names; Check, References to last game; Check, Feeling acomplished when you achieve them; check!
Satisfiamental = 11 Cores/10 (I really think this is one of the games where I have satisfiement where I get to say I completed that game. This game has a goal at first then has a plot twist, bam and you still are satisfied with what you get in the end because you know you wanted it for so long to happen. You know you are happy when you defeat that evil villian and you know YOU did it. That's the kind of joy that energizes me.)
can I play co op before single or is co op just unlockable
How was not Half-Life a success?It revolutionized the fps genre as we know it and sold almost 10 million copies. It spawned innumerable mods and games including Counter-Strike and gave rise to the biggest modding community ever. Team Fortress was definitely a popular mod back in the day. Portal was a huge success: it sold over 4 million copies, was named game of the year and even game of the decade by several publications and it's immensely popular on the internet.
"the visuals arent going to blow you away"
You don't have a bad valve game, i still play cs 1.6 to this day.
I don't like first person shooters or puzzle games, but I'm loving this.
Well, put it this way. Portal was an amazing chopper with wings, portal 2 was just adding stickers to that chopper.
EAn has Origin, which has 11 MILLION USERS and is probably the greatest gaming outlet ever. Plus they have Battlefield 3, the most realistic simulator of war. AND they have Medal of Honor, which will also be powered by Frostbite 2.0.
Valve has hats and an old game engine with no destruction or HDR dynamic lighting. Woopee.
